A good second week run
The film showed no signs of slowing down in its second week. According to early estimates from Sacnilk, so far ‘Saiyaara’ earned Rs 1.96 crore on its second Monday (Day 11), taking the total collection to Rs 249.21 crore. The movie is now just a step away from officially entering the Rs 250 crore club.The second weekend was impressive with Saturday and Sunday collections pushing the film closer to the Rs 300 crore mark. The buzz around the film continues to grow, especially among young audiences. One of the biggest highlights of ‘Saiyaara’s’ journey is that the film did not drop below double-digit earnings for the first 10 days, and the film stayed strong with consistent collections.
Weekdays could bring a dip in numbers
Now, as the film enters its second week, the weekdays could bring some dip in numbers, as usually happens. But if the fall is not too much, the film might smoothly sail past the Rs 275 crore mark and possibly Rs 300 crore soon.

Beating big films at the Box Office
While many recent films have relied on star power, ‘Saiyaara’ is standing tall based purely on its content, emotions, and music. The film has done better than big releases like ‘Dunki’, which marked the return of Shah Rukh Khan with Rajkumar Hirani, and ‘Singham Again’, which brought back the Ajay Devgn–Rohit Shetty pair.‘Saiyaara’ has also passed popular films like ‘Drishyam 2’ (Rs 239.67 crore), ‘The Kerala Story’ (Rs 239.05 crore), and ‘Krrish 3’ (Rs 231.79 crore). It is now just above the collections of ‘URI: The Surgical Strike’ (Rs 244.14 crore), which was called an all time Blockbuster.
‘Saiyaara’ film review
The Times of India gave ‘Saiyaara’ 3 stars and praised the film’s emotional moments. The review said, “Suri gets the emotional core just right, but the film’s uneven pacing intermittently slows things down and often rushes through pivotal turns. Moments of raw emotion do land, though a slightly rushed climax leaves much to be desired.”Ahaan Panday’s performance has been getting a lot of attention. The review added, “Ahaan Panday makes a smashing debut, capturing both the rough-edged swagger of a star-in-the-making and the vulnerability demanded later on. His prowess is on display in the finale as he revisits an earlier scene—channelling Virat ‘King’ Kohli—transforming the raw passion of the first half into pure emotion later.”
Can ‘Saiyaara’ touch Rs 300 crore?
Looking at the current trend, ‘Saiyaara’ seems all set to cross the Rs 250 crore mark officially by the end of Day 11. If it keeps performing well, the film could even become the second Hindi film of the year to enter the Rs 300 crore club.
Tough competition ahead?
The next big challenge for ‘Saiyaara’ will come on 1st August, when two new films, ‘Dhadak 2’ and ‘Son of Sardaar’, are set to release. This may affect the film’s momentum, but with the love it’s receiving from viewers, ‘Saiyaara’ still has a good chance to keep going strong.
